The Interstate C1mmiSsiOners.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The Presi-
dent has appointed the following
Interstate Commissioners Thomas
M. Cooley, of Michigan, for a term OF
six years; William R. Morrison, OF
Illinois, for a term of five years;
Augustus Shoemaker, of New York,
for a term of four years; Aldace F.
Walker, of Vermont, for a term of
three years, and Walter L. Bragg, OF
Alabama, for a term of two years.
The fact that Mr.. Cooley's name
heads the list does not necessarily in
dictate that he will be Chairman OF
the Commission, as it must elect its
own Chairman. Cooley was recetly
appointed by Judge Gresham Receiver
of the Wabash railroad. Aldace F.
Walker is a Vermont lawyer, about A
years old, Republican in politics, who
studied law with Senator Edmunds,
served as a Colonel in the Union
Army, and has since then practiced
law at Rutland. In the Vermont
Senate he has taken a leading part in
forming legislation to solve the rail-
road problem, and has given much
study to the question. Augustus
Schoonmaker is a lawyer of Kingston,
N. Y, and was always a close personal
and political friend of Governor Tilden.
He succeeded Mr.. Fairchild as At
torney General of New York State.
Mr.. Bragg has been a leading Demo-
crat in Alabama for some years. In
1881 he was made President of the
Alabama State Railroad Commisson,
and served in that position four years,
during which time many important
questions, arising between railroads
and their customers, were satisfactorily
adjusted. Mr.. Morrison's public SER
vices are we'll known.
The Presidents Health.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Colonel
Lamont, in a conversation to-day in
regard to the Presidents health,
showed that the fears recently ex-
pressed by DIR. Power are not shared
by the Presidents family and his in
innate friends. The President, Colo
mel Lamont said, was TO all appear
ances in perfect health. He did not
think DIR. Powers was in a position to
Judge of the matter, as he did not
know the President, and what he said,
was, in the Colonel's opinion, based
merely ON the assertion that the Pres
ident was gaining flesh and takes nc
exercise. This was not the case. As
a matter of fact, he continued, the
President weighs less than when he
first came to Washington, and really
takes as much exercise as most other
men. 1t is true, he does not walk
about the city. but he frequently walks
in the country, and there are other
ways in which he gets exercise. The
Colonel added, that altogether the
President is in good condition, and
there is no occasion for apprehension
in regard to his health.
Attempted Assassination.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 23.-An
attempt was made tonight upon the
life of Representative George P.
Bailey, late member of East St. Louis,
by some unknown person. Mr.. Bailey
was returning to his boarding house,
and was in the act Of stepping upon
the porch leading to the door, when he
was fired upon by a person who was
concealed behind the corner of the
house. The revolver used was a 80
calibre, and the ball went through Mr..
Bailey's o%vercoat, piercing a morocco
covered memorandum book in the
pocket OF his under coat, and lodging
in a book similar to the one pierced by
the ball. Mr.. Bailey says that he has no
theory concerning the shooting, as the
fact of his having been one of the
parties to a resolution condemning
two labor members of the Legislature
for acting as pail bearers at Mrs.
Neebe's funeral, is attributed by some
as the cause.
A Fatal Boarding House Fire.
BEssEMER, Mich, March 23.-The
boarding house of Bond & Clancy, at
the Colby mine, was burned at A
O'Clock this morning. Twelve per-
sons persisted in the flames. The
building was a two story frame struc-
ture, and burned like finder, leaving
time for an alarm after the fire was
discovered. Twenty-one boarders oc-
the rooms in the second story,
and only nine of them escaped by
jumping from the windows. Several
seriously injured. The victims
were laborers at the Colby mine.
The bodies were completely charred.
No clue to the origin of the fire. The
victims are all single men.
